* Lead by Phil Odence
* Minutes of Dec meeting approved

== Special Presentation- Georgia (Zeta) Kapitsaki ==

* Goals of work
** Automate license specification and selection
** Helping smaller companies and independent developers
** Helping with combining licenses
*** Created a graph of compatibility for this purpose
*** Based on analysis by computer scientists (not reviewed by lawyers
* Selected SPDX because it was the only standard way to represent
* Analysis
** Use RDF version of SPDX
** Parse and find the different licenses
** Based on compability graph to determine whether the license combinations are OK
** Can analyze multiple docs to determine compatibility as well
* Implementation
** Based tools on SPDX community tools; implemented Java
** Started with v1.1; needs upgrading
** Had a problem with finding real files and so used on line FOSSology tools to create
* Process
** Uses graph, but graph could be used manually independent of SPDX
** Find compatible/incompatible licenses
** Determines problems and flags compatibility problems
* Available on GitHub
* Question
** Are you looking at type of file when analyzing compatibility? Make files for example
*** No they analyze all licenses
*** Would be a direction for the future
*** Might also us dependency information
** How did you determine which files were compatible and incompatible
*** Did their own analysis
*** Perhaps allow configuration of compatibility
